CREATING COMMUNITY
The creators of Seattle Weight Loss Boot Camp know first hand the challenges of losing weight and getting fit! We've been overweight, and it was the grueling process of losing weight and shaping up WITHOUT the benefit of an exciting and supportive community that motivated us to create this program.
At Seattle Weight Loss Boot Camp our goal is not only to help you lose pounds and live in your body with pleasure, we also want to be a place where women can come together to create new, health conscious connections and share their experience. As a companion to our goal oriented daily program, we've created Seasonal Member Fitness Events designed with your new skills and self confidence in mind.
Each Season, all Bootcamp members are invited to get together for a purely social fitness event to put those new muscles to test in the real world. These events are free, with the exception of possible fee's charged by the event destination. Below are our Spring and Summer events. Exact dates and destinations will be announced during Camp.

RESOURCES/LINKS
Below are a few Nutrition, Health and Self Care resources we can't do without!
The Fat Flush Plan By Ann Louise Gittleman
We love The Fat Flush Plan! A whole food detox and lifestyle plan to lose weight, cleanse your body and lead a healthier life by eating foods that flush away fat while building vitality and strength. To make her plan even easier, the author, Ann Louise Gittleman has created a line of organic convenience foods to accompany the plan. Ann Louise Signature Foods, her book, The Fat Flush Plan, and several supportive Fat Flush communities can all be found online.
The Diet Cure by Julia Ross
Another excellent whole food lifestyle eating plan, this book shatters the myths behind unhealthy food behaviors to reveal the real causes of overeating and weight gain- including depleted brain chemistry caused by too much dieting and inadequate protein, unstable blood sugar, hormone irregularities, food addictions and a deficiency of "good" fats. This program uses amino acid supplement therapy and high quality organic food choices to get the body and mind back on track. The author does advise teaming up with your doctor for best results. This book can be found new and used online.
